When my daughter was 4 she lived most of that year as a cat. Crawled around the floor, communicated mostly by hissing and meowing, ate, and drank by licking things. We drew the line at litter boxes, and she knew not to act like that at school, but otherwise, she just grew out of it in time.
It always had me curious why we analyze behavior this closely. She has a personality. Nothing is wrong with that and it’s fairly normal within interesting people.
So cute and sweet! Accents and language are so easily picked up at that age. But as she gets a little older, keep her away from the shows (like on Disney channel) that the kids are sassy and all adults are stupid. Wish I could go back in time on that…

It’s a phase. Just don’t act annoyed by it and continue living your lives as normal. They’re only little for so long…
Yes. That’s adorable. Totally normal.
Yep! Mine is doing the same thing. It’s cute
My niece has watched so much tv for kids she now speaks like she is a host on a kids show
Its funny
It will pass as she gets older i bet
My 4 year old is Peppa Pig one day and Bluey the next, she’ll grow out of it, I’m just cherishing this time 🥰

My sister does it and she’s 8. She still says hostable rather than hospital. It’s completely normal
Normal. My niece loves Bluey and routinely uses Australian slang.
After an intense Peppa Pig obsession, my preschooler started correcting my American pronunciation to the British version.
“NO MOMMY, it’s zeh-bra, not zee-bra!!”
It’s not a phase. She will do this for the rest of her life.
I pretended to be my family dog’s mother for a while when I was younger and I turned out all right!
Rather cheeky of her
I pick up accents and phrases from BOOKS, lol. Once she stops watching it for a while it usually goes away.
